Off-Broadway NewsIrish Rep’s New Production of Yes! Reflections of Molly Bloom Begins Previews June 8
The solo show adaptation of James Joyce’s Ulysses by Aedín Moloney and Colum McCann is directed by John Keating.
Aedín Moloney and Colum McCann‘s Yes! Reflections of Molly Bloom begins preview performances at Irish Repertory Theatre June 8. The stage adaptation of James Joyce’s Ulysses will officially open June 15 on the W. Scott McLucas Studio Stage, and run through July 17.
Moloney stars in the solo play as Molly Bloom, delving into the mysteries and affirmations that come with loss and love, as well as the choices available to a woman in early 20th century Dublin. Set in the early hours of June 17, 1904, Molly’s philandering husband returns home and Molly ruminates on the love they once shared through a reflective and unsentimental steam of consciousness.
Since reading Ulysses as a young girl, Moloney has developed her interpretation of Joyce’s Penelope chapter since then through performances of passages. With McCann’s encouragement, Moloney worked on the show’s development beginning with the audio recording “Reflections of Molly Bloom” in 2017. Following in 2019, Yes! Reflections of Molly Bloom made its world premiere at Irish Rep, and was produced for Irish Rep Online during the pandemic.
John Keating directs the production, which features original music by Paddy Moloney, scenic design by Charlie Corcoran, costume design by Leon Dobkowski, lighting design by Michael O’Connor, and sound design by M. Florian Staab. Jeff Davolt is the production stage manager.
